These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura Duncan. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.

She’s very sweet and not judgmental

Laura is attentive and works well with our personalities. Therapy is personal and not sterile or too academic. We very much enjoy that we can interact comfortably and candidly without judgement.

She’s been a good person to vent to.

Laura has been working with my son for a couple of months and in just that short time we have seen a world of difference. She's helped our family through some tough moments with awesome guidance. She's responsive, helpful, connected with her client, and helps me (as the parent) understand how to help my son while maintaining his privacy. We're really thankful for her!!!

Laura is fantastic! I can’t recommend her enough. She’s compassionate, driven, solution-oriented, very easy to talk to, funny, flexible, reliable - the list goes on! Laura is helping me reclaim my life with the ease of a long lost mentor and I couldn’t be more appreciative.

Laura has been a great source of support since my first session with her. Sessions with her always leave me feeling unburdened and with a clear frame of mind. She makes me feel comfortable and she is very easy to open up to.

Although we only worked together for a couple of months Laura helped me work through some difficult emotions and realise where they are coming from. She is very easy to talk to which I loved as I have found this difficult in previous therapy. I've learnt some tools I can take away with me and I know she will be there if I need to return, I am truly grateful for our time together. Thanks a million!

Laura is professional and listens. It is abundantly apparent that she really wants to find the root cause of an issue and asks questions until she can put the pieces together accurately. I would recommend her to apprehensive talkers too. She really digs in and gets you to open up.
